General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Running out of steam

Thanks for the informative reply, Charlie.

That completely makes sense - and I was being kind when I said it sounds "congested", it actually sounds sh*tty. When I have the house to myself, I might listen at about 38-40 on the display, maybe 45 if I really want to rock out. I only went higher 'cus I was curious to see how loud they'd play. Things started to fall apart at about 50 and seriously bad at 55. When I had the Thiels, I would usually listen at about 32-35 and cranked it once to about 50. That was just too freaking loud for my ears thru the relatively sensitive 1.6s, so I never noticed the clipping.

Thus, the AX-7 has plenty of balls for my system and preferences (and I might have to give it honorable mention for best buy in audio - I don't think I'm missing much compared to more expensives separates).
